About this ebook
Includes 10 illustrations by Barbara Knox
A delightful, whimsical tale—one of the most popular books for cat lovers ever written.
May Sarton’s fictionalized account of her cat Tom Jones’s life and adventures prior to making the author’s acquaintance begins with a fiercely independent, nameless street cat who follows the ten commandments of the Gentleman Cat—including “A Gentleman Cat allows no constraint of his person, not even loving constraint.” But after several years of roaming, Tom has grown tired of his vagabond lifestyle, and he concludes that there might be some appeal after all in giving up the freedom of street life for a loving home. It will take just the right human companion, however, to make his transformation from Cat About Town to genuine Fur Person possible. Sarton’s book is one of the most beloved stories ever written about the joys and tribulations inherent in sharing one’s life with a cat.

I loved this book. The way it was written reminds me of many decades ago and yet its as true as today. I always suspected that my Freddie, who was a gentleman cat before he finally resigned himself to moving in with us, went through thoughts such as these. And, I'm sure he found that he was indeed very much loved, from the get-go for just being himself, which to me, was an awful lot. This is a sweet and tender book, and one that I'll be sure to reread many times.

I remember reading a paperback copy of this book as a kid. I read it so much it eventually fell apart, many years ago. I was very happy to run across this digital copy!
